A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts people with light skin tones clustered against a brick and stone wall. On our left, a man in a white brimmed hat and suspenders looks downward. In the foreground, figures wearing hats and patterned shirts face away from us, including a woman in a wide straw hat and another in a polka-dot blouse. A youth looks rightward from the center, while another man stands at the far right.
